Bill Clinton Once Accused of Forcing Secret Service Agent to Touch Hillary Inappropriately

Now that the sexual misconduct of former President Bill Clinton is once again under scrutiny, renewed attention is being paid to a passage from a tell-all 2016 book from former presidential secret service officer Gary Byrne.

According to Breitbart News, Byrne’s book “Crisis of Character” documents a lengthy “series of sensational events in the Clinton White House, including fights between the first couple and alleged previously unreported flings by Bill.”

The passage also details the moment Byrne and his wife, Genny, were posing for a Christmas photo with the Clinton’s at an event sponsoring White House agents and their wives.

In the book, Byrne wrote that the first couple “posed for a seemingly endless amount of pictures” in the “horribly overheated room,” and noted that he “almost felt guilty” about getting a picture with Clinton, but that Genny insisted.

And Byrne remains sure of what he experienced — an account that had been largely ignored by the media, The Washington Post noted.

“The four of us — myself, the First Couple, and my wife — posed for a photo,” Byrne wrote. “I put my hand behind Mrs. Clinton, and immediately my hand was grabbed by a soft hand that placed it on Mrs. Clinton’s rear.”

Byrne wrote that he was “mortified and just froze.”

“Snap,” wrote Byrne. “The picture was taken, and we thanked the president profusely but were whisked away so the next couple could get their photo.”

Byrne wrote that he leaned over to his wife and said, “Uh, I think the president just put my hand on the First Lady’s (bum).”

His wife replied, “You think that was funny — the president kept, like, rubbing my back!”

Byrne wrote that he and his wife were “aghast” and “didn’t know what to make of it.”

According to Byrne, the couple received the picture in the mail and “still laugh about it.”

“Everyone looks awkward — because we were!” wrote Byrne. “But don’t get me wrong, that was classic President Clinton. He was never dull.”

Yet, this isn’t the only accusation of an inappropriate behavior against the former president.

In a report in the U.K. Daily Mail on Monday, author and journalist Ed Klein cited highly placed Democratic Party sources and an official who served in the Clinton and Obama administrations who said that Clinton, 71, is facing “explosive new charges of sexual assault from four women.”

The sources claimed that the current allegations against Clinton involve incidents which occurred after he left the White House in 2001.
